What Aurelion Sol's lane will be.

Alright so this is just a little theory, but I will make it brief, I promise.

So we know about the new Mount Targon lore (Which I adore by the way), and the champions involved. I think it's safe to agree that joining Diana, Leona and Pantheon is Aurelion Sol, because obviously in his teaser we see mountains similar to mount Targon and the empty champion slot in the mount Targon page. Since Diana is usually referred to as a mid laner, although she could be a jungle she was intended as a Mid laner so lets stick with that. Pantheon is a top laner, Leona is a support. So this leaves us with this:

Top: Pantheon Mid: Diana Support: Leona Jungle: ??? Adc: ???

Now this leaves Aurelion Sol with those 2 possible lanes since riot doesn't seem to like champions with the same lore in 2 of the same lane, especially if there are other lanes to fill. Jhin just came out who is adc, and it would be weird to release 2 adc one after another, so this leaves the jungle role, unless Riot decides Diana is a jungler.

Please don't kill me this is just my own take on what he's (She's? It's?) going to be which is jungle.

Well Ao Shin was originally a support; if that was the basis they were working from you can expect him to either remain a support or transition to mid because supps tend to have caster-heavy kits. With the sadist/power attributes they're giving him, he's likely a mid.

Also, keep in mind that both Pantheon and Diana are very capable junglers--not that that's going to have any real bearing on what Aurelion will be. This isn't a skin set, so I don't think it's accurate to assume they're trying to put someone in every role.

I hope he's a mage/tank.

Midlane needs more tanks.

I'm going for Jungle and Mid, I don't mid very often but I do main jungle and his passive AoE with a slight kite will be good. He doesn't even need a leash! I used to main Diana jungle and she's half decent at it too until you can get your Ult. Really think Aurelion Sol will be good at it to though, as he can wall fly in for ganks way past the enemy FoW and land a stun... Riot may say Mid but personally I think in the right hands he could be a great Jungler.

Graves and Miss Fortune Illaoi and Gangplank Rumble and Teemo Cass and Azir Nasus and Renekton Caitlyn and Jinx Vi (intended for top lane) and Jayce J4, Shyvana, and Garen Akali, Kennen, and Zed Malzahar and Vel'koz Rengar and Kha'zix

Taric is a support and he is from Targon too.

Galaxy lane.

In my mind, Aurelion ought to be the top or mid laner in this scenario--His video showed a focus on energies (which means magic), and one of his lines is very dismissive of the usefulness of towers and walls. I expect he'll have some way of either invalidating a turret for a short while or demolishing them quickly, like Azir does with his soldier spam.

So... AP siege machine, or AP Tank who can disable turrets.

He sounds like an offtank mage like Cho, Swain, and Karthus (although death-boy isn't really supposed to tank rather than just kamikaze).

Chances are he'll love Rod of Ages and want to be dealing as much AOE damage as possible in fights.

Hopefully Jungle :D

I play him support, I think he fits well in that role even though there are some flaws (can't hide in bushes)....

If you're interested in Tanky/ap support, check out my Aurelion Support Guide: http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/aurelion-sol-support-the-poke-god-456575

Well, I hope he's a tanky/ap support. Us support players need love too.[zombie-brand-mindblown]

I think it's Diana mid or Diana jg and vice versa for Aurelion (I don't have PBE so i don't know if aurelion can jg yet)

I'd say Diana would go jungle, and Aurelion Sol mid. That would leave an ADC open, which could possibly be a rework (YORICK PLES) or a totally new champion relating to Mt Targon.

I think Aurelion Sol's a great mid. Jungle is conceivable and top seems to work.
